Grouping variables into multiport memories for ASIC data path synthesis

Grouping variables into multiport memories is an essential step for multiport memory based data path synthesis. The proposed system, GMD, not only groups variables into a minimum number of multiport memory modules, but also simultaneously minimizes the number of registers in each memory module. The minimization problem is formulated as a 0-1 integer linear programming (ILP) problem. Experiments on benchmarks are promising.<
